cable/converter box operating guide. If the num-
ber is not located in either place then call your
(:able company and ask them for "The Cable Box
Output Channel Number."

]Enter your "MFR" number from the list on page
:l1-3; the system test is automatically initiated and
the cable box: should then tune to Channel 59 and
Channel 59 should remai_ selected.
If the first number does not work, try the other
"MFR" numbers for your (:able brand in se-
quence; try the next, then the next etc. If none
work try relocating the cable box and VCR to a
different location or relationship. If you have suc-
cessfully placed the components, the cable box
will automatically tune to Channel 59 and Chan-
nel 59 will remain selected.
Note: These MFR numbe rs were determined by
the Gemstar Corporation from tests with most
popular cable boxes and then compiled and
presented in list form for manufacturers who are
employing the VCR Plus technology.
The manufacturer's name could be printed some-
where on your cable/converter box. Lx)cate the
name in the MFR Number List on page 11-3 and
write down the 1 or 2 digit MFR number on a
sheet of paper. Some mmiufacturers :mayhave
more than one number. Write down all the MFR
numbers for' your partkm]tar cable/converter box
manufacturer. One of these MFR numbers may
be accepted to program the VCR to send the sig-
nal that will control your cable box. If your cable
box does not have a manufacturer's name, call
your cable company and ;ask for "the Cable Box
Manufacturer's Name."If none of these numbers
work enter 99 for the MFR number; the VCR
will not control the cable box.
New MFR Numbers
The MFR Number List on page 11-3 is a current
listing of all available MFR numbers to date. If
your cable/converter box does not tune to Chan-
nel 59, perhaps a newly created MFR number
will work that has not yet been published. In this
case try entering all MITI_[numbers starting with
number 1 and continue through MFR number 83
to see if the cable box will tune to Channel 59,
and have Channel 59 remain selected.
